Second International Workshop on Biological Soil Crusts: Biological Soil Crusts in a Changing World

We are pleased to announce the Second International Workshop on
Biological Soil Crusts, which follows the successful I Workshop
celebrated in Germany in 2010. This workshop is devoted to disseminate
recent advances in our knowledge of the ecology of biological soil
crusts (BSCs) and their importance as a key driver of ecosystem
structure and functioning.

The main objective of this Workshop is to trigger an exchange of
ideas and results, to discuss possible new theories/approaches, and to
provide a forum to facilitate the collaboration among the growing
international community of scientists working with BSCs.

This international meeting will take place at the Faculty of
Pharmacy, The Complutense University, Madrid, Spain, between 10th and
13rd of June, 2013. The meeting will cover any aspect related to BSCs,
including the following topics:

The meeting will include invited plenary talks, contributed oral
sessions, poster sessions, a field trip and some open, informal sessions
to facilitate the exchange of ideas and protocols on key issues
surrounding BSC ecology.

Venue

The Complutense University is
one of the largest Universities in Spain. Located in the historic Ciudad
Universitaria/Moncloa Campus, it is easily accessible from anywhere in
Madrid from Metro and Bus. The venue of the meeting (Faculty of
Pharmacy) is just 20 m from a metro station.

Madrid, the Spanish capital, is a vibrant city with world class
museums, monuments, and restaurants, and with a famous night and
cultural life. It can be easily reached by plane from anywhere in the
world, and has activities of interest for anyone (see
